Community Mural ProjectGalle prison - Oct-dec 2015

The Serendipity Trust is proud to have funded and coordinated a huge community mural on the external walls of the Galle Prison, opposite the Dharmapala Children's Park. This mural was painted by talented artist Rose Abeywickrama, commonly known as the 'Painting Pirate'.

The mural, which was officially opened at a large awareness raising event and community march on Tuesday 1st November, depicts beautiful underwater scenes including sea creatures and coral to help promote the importance of protecting Sri Lanka (and the world's) oceans and environments.

Beach Clean Ups, coordinated by the Galle Prison were held in the lead up to the Mural's Opening as well as a community march through Galle to raise awareness about plastic pollution.

Check out the gallery below to see the progressive photo as the mural took shape. The first brush strokes commenced on 19th October 2015!
